Twisted Romance

Roberto is a brooding teen living with his family in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. In the midst of his boredom, he begins a relationship with Raul, an older, divorced man with a dark past. In spite of Raul's violent sexual behavior, Roberto continues to see him, and the two form a bizarre relationship. But the romance takes an even darker turn when Roberto meets another young man named Cesar, with whom he has a brief fling. Overcome with jealousy, Raul turns even more possessive and abusive towards Roberto and shows that his brutality can go further than Roberto might have ever imagined - perhaps even to the point of murder. In this darkly fascinating film festival hit, director Jose Celestino Campusano takes queer cinema in a bold new direction as he explores the destructive potential of love and jealousy.
